I20 to Jackson, down to Brookhaven and over on 84?
I59 to Laurel, 84 from Laurel to Natchez?

Doesnt hwy 29 cut from Crystal Springs to Natchez or something?

I would say your second choice I-59 to Laurel then straight across on 84.

much less traffic and better roads, I-20 west is screwed up in Jackson as well as I-55 South toward Byram.

Hwy 28 cuts from Hazlehurst to just west of Meadville then 84 to Natchez. But 28 is a 2-lane road. Best bet would be 59 to Laurel then 84 to Natchez. 84 should be 4-lane the whole way (or at least close to it).

I'd go 59 to 84. Less traffic, can prob make better time. But watch out for those unmarked police cars...

I-55 South from Jxn to Byram has been repaved recently... it's fine. However, I-59 > Hwy 84 is probably the best bet.

I 20 to Jackson, go Hwy 18 through Raymond and on to Port Gibson, then Hwy 61

Too many stoplights on 18 in South Jackson and I'd think traffic in Laurel would be a bit slow what with several stoplights on 84 (16th avenue mostly) until you get out of Calhoun.

I'd take 20 to 55 south to Brookhaven then 84 to Natchez.
